By delivering precisely controlled RF energy deep into the skin, there’s no risk of over-heating or burning. The majority of the energy reaches collagen fibers in the mid-level dermis. RF Microneedling targets the skin’s underlying support system and restructures areas damaged by aging, acne scarring or stretch marks. By rebuilding the skin’s support system, the top-most layer of the skin appears smooth and strong, with long-lasting effects.

 

How is Rf Microneedling different to traditional microneedling?

Traditional microneedling uses a hand-held mechanical device with sterile ultra-fine disposable needle tips to create micro-injuries to the skin. This stimulates the body’s own healing response and initiates collagen and elastin production. Applying serums or platelet rich plasma (PRP), a.k.a Vampire Facial, during the treatment allows for deeper and more effective penetration of nutrients and growth factors through the microchannels created in the skin.

RF Microneedling adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. RF Microneedling gives you the benefits of traditional microneedling, plus skin tightening and additional collagen and elastin production. The RF energy delivered deep into the skin produces a faster, more dramatic results over traditional micro needling devices.

 

What is  radio frequency?

RF is essentially electrical energy. In aesthetic medicine, RF technology is used to gently and safely heat the skin. Heating the dermis to approximately 60 degrees Celsius initiates new collagen and elastin formation to visibly tighten the skin.

Most radiofrequency technologies use monopolar or bipolar polarity. In monopolar devices, a grounding pad must be applied to the patient. Secret RF is bipolar, meaning the electrical energy is conducted between the electrodes and does not require a grounding pad.

RF devices are also classified as nonablative, sublative and ablative, depending on whether the RF technology injures the top layers of the skin. Secret RF device is fractional.

Benefits of fractional Rf technology

Fractional RF technology helps minimize downtime and maximize results. The percentage of skin treated is adjusted according to each patient’s condition. Treating the entire area at once would lead to a very long recovery with high risk for post treatment infection and complications. Treating a fractional portion of the skin enables the skin to recover much quicker and keeps risks and complications at a minimum. Using a series of treatments, fractional RF treats each cell at least once during the series. This way you can achieve the same effectiveness as an invasive treatment, with fewer risks and a shorter downtime.

​

How many treatments are recommended?

Most patients will see significant results with a series of 3 treatments, spaced about three to four weeks apart. The number of treatments will depend on how well the patient responds to the treatment and the severity of their skin issues.

 

RF Microneedling treatment can target the following areas:

​

• fine lines

• wrinkles

• stretch marks

• appearance of large pores

• acne scars

• scars from injury or surgery

• hyperpigmentation

• loose, sagging skin

• cellulite

• hyperhidrosis

 

Who’s an ideal candidate for radiofrequency microneedling? 

Radiofrequency microneedling is considered safe, but it isn’t appropriate for everyone.

You may be an ideal candidate if you:

• are in good health

• have early signs of aging

• have realistic expectations

 

Alternatively, you should avoid the treatment if you:

• currently or recently used Accutane

• have an active cold sore breakout

• have a skin infection

• have a moderate to severe skin disease (like psoriasis)

• are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy

• are pregnant

• are taking anticoagulants

• have a history of keloids, hypertrophic scarring, or poor wound healing
